The Big Easy! The Crescent City!
Birthplace of Jazz! The City that Care Forgot! New Orleans is known by any
number of nicknames, but none can completely describe the city. Located at a
bend in the Mississippi River in southeastern Louisiana, New Orleans is a city
with several distinct neighborhoods. The most famous is the French Quarter -
about 10 square blocks just north of the river. The buildings here were
constructed over 200 years ago and all remain in reasonable condition. To walk
through here is to walk through time - the streets are narrow and often damp,
and with just a bit of imagination you can picture what life was like two
centuries before. The French Market offers eclectic shops, and once night falls,
you can head to the world-famous Bourbon Street for evening fun.

This year the conference will be held at the Hyatt Regency
in New Orleans, just in time
for the beginning of Mardi Gras season. On Tuesday evening, there will be
a reception to open the conference. On Thursday evening, there will be a
banquet at the Aquarium of the Americas. When you book rooms at the conference hotel be sure to mention ACM POPL'03 to get the conference rate of $149/night.

The deadline for this special room rate is December 23, 2002.
